Default This just sucks

Well I put my headers on not too long ago. Since then its been down hill. Battery dies, $70 for a new one. Then my truck starts missin so I figure a plug wire is loose. Put the Tech 2 on and #7 cylinder misfiring..I know these motors are bad about if they get water in the fuel it sits at the back of the fuel rail and #7 misses. I switched 2 plug wires and it quits. I even ran it at the track with no problem. It started back the next day. Pulled the fuel rail and got the water out of the fuel rail, all good right?? Only for a few days. Now its just BAD.Im gonna run all the gas out till it quits. Gettin the parts man to order the new evap vent soleniod and check the canister for water also.Then last night my key fob quit.....

Well I replaced the injector and then say that my misfires were jumping around the cylinders.WTF, it was only on #7 the other day. Ordered a set of the new Iridum plugs and a set of MSD wires and its all good now. Noticed that all the plugs had some carp on them. I guess I only went about $100 in the hole with the injector and filter. Feels good to be back in action!!
